 A man named Ballard lived in the swamps of the Mucklee, in Georgia, with hIs wife. The woods were full of wild turkeys, aud Ballard conceived the idea that he would capture a big lot of them and sell them in Macon. He built large turkey pen and GOV cred 1t over, leaving trench for the fowls tC enter in, balted with corn. Two or three days after he went to the pen and found II full of big fat turkeys, probably thirty or forty. Ballard was afraid to loosen the pen aud take them out, so he went home, got a rope and his wife to assist him, and then came back for his birds. When he got to his pen he Crawled Tn al the trench where the turkeys had entered, after tying one end of the rope around FIs body, and tied each one of the,turkeys by the feet with the other part of the rope. He then bade his vile to remove the top Of the pen and he struggled out, As soon as the turkeys fonnd that they could expand their wings they began to autter and fv, and soon Ballard was as high as the trees, yelling in fright to his wife below to save him, The poor woman wrung her hands and followed as the scared birds mounted higher and got swfter in their flight. She soon lost sight of her husband, and as he was never heard of, she bun. died up and returned to her parents m North Carolina. .-Ex.

Don't Worry.

Worry wears you out. Thought,
like river, flows between fixed banks,
flashing back the stars by night and
the sun by day, turning the mill
wheels and machinery, feeding the
life upon its banks; but worry eats
out and oyerilows the banks, and car
ries with it devastation and death.
Don't Worry. Worry is the child OF
unbehei it is the child of distrust no
man can trust God fully and worry ut
the same time. You mightas well try
tomiX oil and water in the same dish,
as to mix belief and worry in the same
life with Christianity. The minute
you begin to worry, you step down
from the throne of faith you throw
the scepue OF belief at your own feet
You stand on the ground Of unbelief in
the living God, | go to a hotel, and
tell them | want to take an early
train | leave my name with the clerk
Ii trust the clerk, l go to bed and
sleep if | am afraid he won't call me
| wake up every hour Of the night and
consult my watch. Every time
awake ! insult the clerk and every
time we are restless we insult our God

The Education of Girls.

We can only hope that with the
newer and froer ideas now coming up,
some OF the good old ways may also be
restored. Respect shown tC.the aged
modesty, simple dress, housekeeping
daughters learning from good mothers
their domestic arts, are so much better
than the too early friyolty and free.
dom so many girls now enjoy. The
little daughter sent me by my dying
sister has given me a renewed interest
in the education Of girls, and a fresh
anxiety concerning the sort of society
they are to enter by and by. Health
comes first, 0nd early knowledge 0
truth, obedience and self-cOntrol thel
such necessary lessons as all mus
learn, and later, such accomplish
ments as taste and talent lead her t,
desire--a profession or trade to fal
back upon in time of need, that sh,
may not be dependent Or too proud t,
work for her bread Experience i
the best teacher and with good health
good principles and a good education
any girl can make her own way, ant
be the braverand better for the exer
ton and discipline.--Louisa N. Alcot

Franklin S Famous Toast.

Ben franklin was dining with a
small party of distinguished gentle
men when one OF them said
Here are three nationalities repre-
sented | am French, my friend there
is English, and Mr.. Franklin is an
American.--Let us each propose Il
toast"
1t was agreed to, and the English
mans turn came first. He arose, aud
in the tone of a Briton bold, said
Here's to Great Britain, the sun
that gives light to all nations OF the
earth"
The Frenchman was rather taken
back at this, but he proposed:
Here's to France, the moon whose
magic rays move Che tides OF all the
world"
Our Ben then arose with his air Of
quaint modesty and said:
Here's to George Washington, the
Joshua of America, who commanded
the sun and moon to stand still-&nC
they stood still"
